CryptoNight Algorithm Support

[Dr-Hack]

would it be possible/feasible to add cryptonight support on your script ?

[demogorgonz]

Probably, i will have to look into it. I do not have access to RPI at the moment, but you could try to compile this miner instead cpuminer-multi .

[Dr-Hack]

doesn't work .. after running ./autogen.sh , no errors not logs and nothing gets build thats after it took me some time installing all the required dependencies

[demogorgonz]

Have you saw ReadMe ?

It clearly state that you need to run build.sh .

i was talking about "cpuminer-multi" as you provided above .. ofcourse your miner does work but it doesn't support cryptonight

[demogorgonz]

I am sorry but i can’t provide support for repository that isn’t made or tested by me... If i find free time i will test it for sure 🙂

[Dr-Hack]

or if you could incorporate cryptonight into your code that would be a super plus that is if time permits ofcourse thanks for your time 👍

Check this releases page

On raspberry pi execute following:

wget https://github.com/demogorgonz/RaspberryPi-CPUMiner/releases/download/v.1.1/minerd-multi

chmod +x minerd-multi

./minerd-multi -h

Let me know how it went 😃

IT works :D information pertaining to the update : minerd-multi --benchmark Output : ./minerd-multi --benchmark [2017-11-08 14:31:49] 3 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.

on the pool page i am getting 6 H/s after running it for like 5 min .. but can be increase the decimal visible value shown on above threads : like change 0.00 H/s to 0.0000H/s that way we might see what we getting :p ..i'll be keeping the Rpi3 mining until it fries :D

Thanks 👍

[demogorgonz]

Check your RPI3 temperature.. It may downclock/underclock the CPU on heat by default if you are using raspbian.. That might display 2 different values.

Feel free to fiddle with the code to achieve what you want ... I've included build.sh with all dependencies so you can build over and over (lasts about 5-10m on RPI3).

So i will close the issue, good luck mining :smile:

[adgurinder]

i have rigs at home and want to use rigs for electroneum do we have software for rigs any IOS so i can run from usb ?

[Dr-Hack]

@adgurinder - you should consult electroneum forum for that .. there are lots of mining apps which provide support for what you mentioned above
